Launch


The NYC Condom was launched on Valentine's Day, 2007 with a highly successful citywide media campaign including bilingual subway ads, radio spots, club launch parties, and street teams distributing the NYC Condom at high pedestrian traffic spots throughout the city. The NYC Condom Availability Program distributes free safer sex products to both individuals and organizations across the five boroughs of New York City.




Distribution



The NYC Condom Availability Program welcomes businesses or organizations operating within New York City to order free safer sex products, in bulk, through the NYC Safer Sex Portal. Individuals can find and obtain free safer sex products by searching the NYC Health Map. Distribution sites listed on the NYC Health Map have opted-in as locations where any person can visit to obtain free safer sex products, no questions asked. These sites are maintained through a variety of contracts overseen by the NYC Health Department.
